3. Washington and Jefferson CollegeThis is exactly what Washington and Jefferson would’ve wanted, a dorm that permits cats, dogs that weigh less than 40 pounds, small birds, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish. That’s the American dream.

4. University of Notre DameNotre Dame allows students to house non-carnivorous, freshwater fish in aquariums, as long as the tank does not exceed 30 gallons. Your roommate will be glad he’s not sharing a room with a fish that might eat him.

5. Sweet Briar CollegeSeabiscuit can come with you to Sweet Briar College, as long as you’re in their special equestrian program. But that’d kinda be like bringing your space shuttle to college if you’re not studying to be an astronaut. Doesn’t make sense! Right?

6. Stetson UniversityThere’s an entire dorm at Stetson that allows animals including, hamsters, small dogs and cats. There is even a dog park for dogs to find friends. You’ll be socializing at college, your dog should, too!

7. Principia CollegeIf you can fit it in an enclosed space-cage or tank-you can bring it along with you to Principia.

9. Eckerd CollegeDogs are a huge part of Eckerd culture. At one of their commencement ceremonies, a girl walked across the stage with her dog. Or maybe, the dog got a degree, too.

10. Case Western Reserve UniversityCase Western University approves of small, caged animals, such as bunnies or hamsters. Students in Greek life can even apply for a house “mascot,” such as a cat or dog, to live in fraternity and sorority homes.
